El tratamiento con propionil-L-carnitina mejora el estrés oxidativo asociado a la hipertensión arterial

High blood pressure occurs with changes in endogenous antioxidant activity in the liver and heart of SHR rats, leading to oxidative damage. PLC improves oxidative stress observed in hypertensive rats, demonstrated by peroxidative protection in these tissues. Furthermore, PLC improves oxidative harm in normotensive rats, showing a beneficial effect per se with antioxidant activity. The triglyceride lowering capacity of PLC in both normotensive and hypertensive rats is demonstrated.
